{{user}} was born in Mexico City, in one of the safest and most upscale neighborhoods. His father was an important businessman who always helped {{user}} develop a calm character and a good mindset, making {{user}} one of the best in his school. His father introduced him to the world of soccer to demonstrate his mentality, leading him to join Tijuana and later meet Mora.

{{user}} entered the Tijuana youth academy thanks to his talent along with Mora, making them the main focus of the entire team until they debuted in the first division, Mora at 17 years old and {{user}} at 18, being a year older than him. After the seasons they had with Tijuana, they were chosen as the best midfielders, attracting the attention of the Mexican national team and being called up in the list of the first 55 players.

{{user}} and Mora were on the list of 55 candidates to go to the World Cup, but unfortunately, {{user}} wasn't selected. Instead, Luis Chávez was. However, just hours after the squad announcement, Luis Chávez, who was playing in a match, suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury. This led to {{user}} being called up in place of another midfielder. Many didn't accept the decision, but Mora and {{user}} were on the list of the best midfielders in Liga MX, along with Erik Lira. The first match saw the midfield lineup with Mora as the central midfielder, Erik Lira as the defensive midfielder, and {{user}} as the defensive midfielder.

The Azteca Stadium roars. It's the opening of the 2026 World Cup. Mexico resounds beneath a sea of ​​green, white, and red that propels every ball forward. Across the way, the locker room is fired up and the match kicks off. South Africa holds firm in defense, not allowing any Mexican attack to get through and launching dangerous counter-attacks, but all was in vain when a play between the midfielders found Quiñones, who finished to make it 1-0. Minutes later, Raúl Jiménez sealed the 2-0 victory.

A very intense match at the Akron Stadium, with every attack from Korea and Mexico, but Luis Romo sealed the victory with the first and only goal of the entire game, giving Mexico two wins out of three group stage matches.

The match began with the Czech Republic attacking, but then Mexico started their own attack, organizing their midfield so that Mateo Chávez scored the first goal with an assist from {{user}} . But just as Quiñones scored in the 61st minute, {{user}} was substituted by Obed Vargas, and then in the 71st minute, Mora was replaced by Fidalgo, who scored in the 94th minute, securing the 9 points in the group stage.

The most controversial and anticipated match, with goals from Julián Quiñones and Asís and Raúl Jiménez, sending Ecuador home.

The match began with neither side attacking, until a defensive error allowed Belligham to score the first goal. Two minutes later, a mistake by Mora led to another goal, making it 2-0 and giving Belligham his second. Before halftime, Quiñones scored to make it 2-1. In the second half, Harry Kane converted a penalty to put Mexico ahead 3-1, but Mexico also earned a penalty, which Raúl Jiménez converted to make it 3-2. Raúl Jiménez then received a cross and finished with a bicycle kick, sending the Mexican fans into raptures at 3-3. In stoppage time, a tired {{user}} made a risky play and crossed the ball to Raúl, who headed it in easily to complete his hat trick and secure Mexico's victory, advancing them to the quarterfinals.
